We’re making the same point. They have to show that there was discrimination against protected beliefs. The employer’s currently-stated position does not meet that bar. If the ex-employee has evidence that hasn’t been published by the employer, then they could win in court, if they can convince the court that their evidence is sound.
They don't even need that apparently. If Google and Apple shuts you down that's it for you. Most people won't bother installing your app from an alternative store.
> I never understood why people hate IKEA. Yes it's cheap. Yes it doesn't last a lifetime. Yes it needs a lot of wood. Yes it's highly optimized.

It's mass production without the opportunity to posture about your means. It's also often a complicated and confusing experience to put together if you don't heed the instruction booklet carefully.

Personally, I think IKEA's instructions are dramatically better than the norm. An exploded engine diagram is a common approach from other vendors.

The boosted unemployment payments made this result a lot less bad than it could have been.

However, those are long gone now and will not be returning. We can expect the results of 2021 to be much worse.
I definitely won't. Thank you for the correction r.e. short selling upside. If I had realized it was max 100% upside, it wouldn't have been tempting. There's not an amount I'm willing to risk on this trade that would make a mere doubling of my money worth the effort.
that isn’t what the article is saying. it’s arguing that the short squeeze is less about pure profit making, though of course that’s part of it, but more about actively trying to hurt hedge funds who are naked short selling and potentially forcing them to liquidate as a sort of populist driven “payback” against the elite.
Automating data center expansions with Apache Airflow
I guess it is not the efficient market in the sense of valued according to the underlying financials. But to me at least it is "efficient" in the sense that the price is now basically tied to supply and demand. You have a stock that has >100% of outstanding shares short and a ton of people buying and holding the stock intentionally to prevent those users from covering the shorts. If nobody wants to sell you a share at 100$ you have to offer more and the more you offer the more in the hole other shorts become. This is the market punishing people who thought they were getting easy money by shorting the hell out of a dying company.
Are you suggesting that raising the minimum wage will increase inflation? That seems theoretically plausible to me, I suppose, but I haven't seen any evidence for it happening in practice. We have had plenty of natural experiments where one region has raised the minimum wage while its neighbours have not. Do you have any information about what happened to inflation in those cases?

I am entirely convinced that an increase to the minimum wage (perhaps not as high as $15/hr) will have no major effect on employment. That idea is contradicted by all the empirical evidence we have. I have not seen enough evidence to draw a conclusion on inflation.
What is to stop any European companies from starting their own social networks? They are not monopolies, and are much less of monopolies than other de-facto monopolies which are allowed to exist without being regulated as such, such as ISPs in the US.

I judge this particular article as poorly sourced for the same reason you do. I do not judge the article for the religion of the publisher. I never read Newsweek. I thought it was long gone. But now that I know it’s there, I shall continue to judge its merits based on what they publish, not what the supposed political beliefs of the owner or staff happen to be.
There is only so much money for businesses to allocate towards labor, it is not infinite.

Eg: $15K per month for staffing translates to $3750 per week, which translates to $125 per hour at 30 hours per week on average, which translates to ~10 staff at $12 per hour.

At $15 per hour that is reduced to 8 staff. Alternatively the hours for 10 staff would be reduced from 30 hours per week to 24 hours per week.

The money doesn't come from thin air, raising minimum wage for 10 staff at $12 per hour to $15 doesn't mean there will be no layoffs or reduction in hours.

Increasing prices of products sold or services rendered would result in a reduction in products sold or services rendered. Again, the money doesn't come from thin air -- either prices are raised or staff costing is reduced through cut hours or cut headcount.

Who gets cut is another question too -- more than likely it is tied to appearance, education, likeability, or seniority. Who gets hired is another question too -- if the bar is too high for an uneducated black youth then they will simply not get hired. An increase in the minimum wage can result (and has historically resulted in) in higher unemployment among black youth.

Connecting those profiles to real life names has the upside of enabling those teenagers to stay in touch with old friends when everyone moves around as adults

(and I wouldn't say the social networks where profiles don't need to be connected to real names are necessarily any better)
I mean if you want to factor in the benefits of drugs, be my guest, because spoiler alert: They are fucking awesome.
To take your analogy a little further: if we all started saying to someone who started lashing out online, "Hey dude, what's going on? You're acting irrational. Where's this anger coming from? What can I/we do to help?" would it subdue the flames and vitriol that exists on social media? Maybe. I don't know. It's worth a try.

What I suspect would be better would be to pick up the phone and call that person and say those things. The release of venting verbally with a person who is understanding and prepared to accept the venting is likely significantly more productive and healthier than over text.

Then again, 99% of the time, we don't even know that persons name, much less their phone number. Therein lies, I think in part, the crux of the problem: I'm a tribe member who is able to throw stones at a member of a different tribe without immediate or clear consequence.
This is unlikely to happen on the official store, but will probably be available for Side quest at some point. Your best bet is probably still building it yourself
There are options in your HN profile to help with this.

"Like email, social news sites can be dangerously addictive. So the latest version of Hacker News has a feature to let you limit your use of the site. There are three new fields in your profile, noprocrast, maxvisit, and minaway. (You can edit your profile by clicking on your username.) Noprocrast is turned off by default. If you turn it on by setting it to "yes," you'll only be allowed to visit the site for maxvisit minutes at a time, with gaps of minaway minutes in between. The defaults are 20 and 180, which would let you view the site for 20 minutes at a time, and then not allow you back in for 3 hours. You can override noprocrast if you want, in which case your visit clock starts over at zero."
Mask doubles as a Covid-19 test
Well yeah in the papers of the OP maybe, I don't know. I more meant to address several commentors in this thread that seem to think in general that peer review is 'redo the research' and/or 'validate that it's correct'. It's not.

Nowadays when you see articles results of new research of covid19 in the media, those articles often include 'hasn't been peer reviewed yet' or 'reviewed by other scientists' or any such verbiage, either as a disclaimer or as 'now it must be true'. But that's not how it works; it's not because something has been 'peer reviewed' that it's 'The Truth' or 'Real Science'. Peer review, in reality, just weeds out (most) quacks (although in the OP's case it seems it didn't even do that) and checks that the paper is not completely out of touch with what is happening in and known about the field. It's not QA of the work itself.

(I don't care to debate if it should be, and if more money should be spend on replication etc, just providing some real world context on something that is quite opaque to and often misunderstood by those not in academia)
> (...) JS ecosystem has been having problems

what problems? Yeah, stuff like left-pad happened with NPM, but that has nothing to do with sandboxed scripting in browser. Also within my already-depressingly-long career, I had more problems with deploying "robust" .NET desktop apps (WPF & Forms) and even Qt based supposedly "cross-platform" apps than web apps. Web is the most robust platform I've ever worked with, and that's by a huge margin.

JS as a language has problems[1] but the idea behind it proved itself to be great.

[1]: and with the latest additions it's one of the better programming languages to work with, although the standard library sucks (or more like, nearly non-existent). But that's totally another topic.
This is a reductive take, there is the idealized model of the market that the efficient market hypothesis refers to and there is the real one, which can get quite messy.

The market does serve a real purpose, ie deploying capital and providing liquidity.
Building the Next Creator Platform: Lessons from Gumroad, Substack, & Transistor
I've been anti union for almost my entire life as you cannot really be a member of a union without at the same time supporting a number of unrelated cases that I disagree wildly with.

That said I am starting to feel that we could need something like unions, only they should avoid messing with international affairs, avoid supporting any political parties and stick to working for their members directly.
Doesn't the regex sanitize it before display?
Agreed, the reason minimum wage is bad policy and unethical is that you're making it illegal to pay someone below a certain threshold, which stated differently is making it illegal for a sufficiently unskilled worker to get any job. But I don't see how minimum wage could be inflationary, but if it were it certainly wouldn't be enough to "wipe out savings" - that requires hyperinflation.
What if you compare a wide angle shot with a panorama created from multiple normal lens shots?
In the short term, the market is a popularity contest. In the long term, the market is a weighing machine.

If you look at the option chains, it is clear that traders value GameStop in the long run far below the current trading price.

https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/gme/option-cha...

A November 2021 "put" at the present market price of ~$360, the right to sell GameStop stock in November at $360, is selling for about $300.

For comparison, a January 2022 put at Microsoft's present market price of ~$235 is selling for ~$30.

GameStop is presently a cafeteria food-fight. It will end, a lot of people will be sad, everyone will remember the story, and GameStop stock will eventually better-correlate with business performance.

Edit: Indeed, the fact that one can buy puts for so cheap is interesting, as GameStop is probably "worth" $30 or less at present. However, is it worth risking $300 to perhaps make $30 while food is flying around? Not for me.
Brokerages would be in a lot of trouble if literally nobody was willing to sell at any price. When someone sells short, they must borrow shares; usually a brokerage will facilitate this by borrowing shares from another customer, who can receive some interest payments. If nobody was willing to sell at any price, the short seller would be unable to close their position before going bankrupt; but the other customer, who was long, would still be owed shares. In this case the brokerage must assume the short position, for a potentially enormous loss, and would have to continue paying interest to whoever the shares were borrowed from.

Most brokerages would not allow a short position with such poor liquidity -- they would force the position to be closed to avoid taking on that kind of risk. Forced buying is exactly what is happening right now, as the price rises short sellers wind up with margin calls and are forced to buy at whatever price they can get (or they must deposit other cash or securities to offset the losses in their margin accounts). That drives the price higher and triggers more margin calls and more buying, until eventually all the shorts have been forced to close their positions. Brokerages will likely raise the margin requirements for a symbol like this to avoid a situation where a short sellers end up bankrupt with negative account values after closing the position (which means the brokerage will take a loss). Note that raising margin requirements will accelerate a short squeeze, since it creates more margin calls, but brokerages would rather get the positions closed sooner than later.
I think a lot of people have deep enough pockets to fund a side lab. It's worth trying.
Well, I think things are beginning to be better managed in some centers. If that's your case, then good for you. In my center, it's basically the wild west and data management is a catastrophe.

But are you working the clinical wards? Because things are definitely much better managed in places such as epidemiology units. The true horrors mostly come from clinical researchers digging into excel spreadsheets without knowing a mean from a median.
WSB realized the short sellers had bought more shares short than there were shares available to buy, therefore creating a squeeze and inevitable price increase. They then encouraged everyone to buy shares to screw the shorts and make money.
It's a perplexing attitude. OP just threw it out there as if it's an obvious fact that "people living in poverty don’t have “savings”". That is such a blatantly false statement. Poor people in developing countries have savings. I can guarantee you that even in places like North Korea, people are squirreling away the little they have, just as my grandmother did.

Poor people aren't idiots. They think about the future. They plan for the future. If they need to save, they will save.
I hate arguments from nature. We’re not doing anything out of the ordinary compared to insects. If you transplant a species of insects like say the emerald ash borer they can be just as destructive to the ecosystem as humans, probably more so because they can’t reason about their behaviour and decide to change it to avoid ecological disaster. The history of the world is full of extinctions, the benefit of being human is we can choose not to act like any other invasive species or new mutation, we can choose the path that allows for human flourishing along with good stewardship of the planet. The best thing for both would probably be to accelerate our move off of this world and only come back for vacations and to prevent the odd “natural” extinction event.
Do you really think that is a rare sentiment?
Yes, but the increased availability of such things around the globe and across social strata is unparalleled.
It's all about making money. WSB was about hurting the hedge funds or screwing the system. And to be clear, I know wsb because I was one of the first group of subscribers of wsb way way back, but quit it because it wasn't engaged in what I thought was trading strategies, but a lot of shitposting.

But they didn't cause this crazy short squeeze. It's the other hedge funds and day trading shops that are causing this because they see weakness and an easy way to day trade to crazy profits.
I'm not OP, but it's not entirely about the content being viewed. A lot of unsupervised online access takes the form of large swathes of time.

Not every parent would necessarily want their child online for 3 - 5+ hours, especially doing things like participating in communities.
I must concur. There is a reason taking drugs has been around for 1000's of years - within reason.

If it goes on for another year or two (pls don't kill the messenger, remember last Feb-March and how we just had to flatten the curve for some weeks or a month, vaccines will take way longer than the media pushes) it will also significantly impact small children and their assessment of how the world works, social norms, dangers of strangers, masks covering expressive faces, less contact to extended family etc.
I'm a dad who was always the primary parent. I arranged the births, changed most diapers, packed lunches, transport, meetings, homework, cubs, everything but nursing newborns. Over 30 years, I was usually the only parent that Drs, teachers, leaders ever saw.

This was because my wife had babies at home and had environmental allergies; I had the flexibility of self-employment.

Caregivers tended to be supportive. Occasionally tho, there were logistical issues with me being a man in women dominated environments.

One example: I wanted to monitor my young son's speech therapy (in/after school), so I could duplicate the teacher's methods. Apparently parents never did this and they had to find a hidden spot for me. This still left the teacher+child alone with a man in a closed classroom - which, reasonably, could make teachers less comfortable. A 2nd teacher had to be found to float in/out. This was a rare case where I was made to feel like I was imposing but it wasn't much of a dad thing.

This exception aside, I didn't run into a lot of issues. Surprise, yes. Lots of that.
These programs get to ask a court to enforce a $36,500 judgement against you if you quit. That's far from having a job "cost $36,500 to quit". If the role is truly worse than nothing, as long as you don't have a pile of assets to go after the entire cost of quitting is going through bankruptcy at worst.

The only scenario in which you'd pay the full $36,500 is if you found an alternative job that would be at least that much better. In which case you move on and make them collect from you. How difficult that is for them and how much of a hassle it is for you varies by state, but I suspect you could settle the debt for a payment plan that returns at most 50 cents on the dollar.

IMO, more people need to be educated on the debt collection and bankruptcy system they have, and learn what their actual best alternatives are, rather than what creditors want you to think your alternatives are. Debt collection is slow and risky at best, and these exploitative programs are run by slimeballs, so fuck 'em and play hardball.
I just started reading Pikkety and at 2010 already private owned capital was at 600% of GDP (almost reaching pre WW1 lvl). I wonder how it's now when stock rised 4x in the last 4 years (probably will rise more with next relief). They have some DB online with such info.
I'm of opinion that work is no longer profitable (and I have top non-exec salary).

I'm not from US but IMO federal wage is stupid but on state lvl I would urge you to implement it. I'm from Poland and I think that keeping our own currency was good for staying competitive. If we had federal EU minimum wage we would be in ruin. Actually EU mandated minimum wage recently but it's defined as 50% of average salary which we have in our country already. Gemany has min at 41% or something like that for example.
An interesting proposition!

In 2008, I was on my own for the first time. I had to furnish my first apartment into livability. A family friend gave me a $300 gift card to IKEA. That gift got me a fully functional one-bedroom apartment that I could never have afforded at the time.

Now, as a well-paid adult advanced in my career, I can afford to buy high-quality things. I do this knowing full well that I'm buying status symbols. I'm a little skeptical that a highly skilled woodworker's output would have been available to 2008 me, or the modern equivalent, but I would love to be wrong.
You're joking but you'd be surprised. Apparently, all people of Indo-European descent are the descendants of ancient dairy farmers. Who bred, and bred, and bred- and took up, well, a lot of the available space. And dairy (rather, the ability to digest it) seems to have been a major reason for that taking-over.

It's a very interesting proof of concept.

Now if it could work on non apple devices (like when pressing the button on your router) I'd certainly code something with it too!

Usecase: you are at your desk with a new laptop (or a friend), the router is in the other room and the password is long, and you can't find where you put the QR code the last time.

On linux, it could get the active wifi network from iwconfig and the password currently used from either wpa agent, seahorse or others.

It should present the password in a window, in case it contains an identifier.
